Really enjoyed hearing Dallas Willard speak at the Utah Pastor's Conference. Now, I am reading his book "Spirit of the Disciplines". I love his discussion of the "Great Commission" -
Have we done what is necessary to bring the earnest convert into his or her possessions as a child of God, as a brother or sister of Jesus Christ in the new life? Unfortunately, the answer to this question is a clear no. So we can only describe the phrase, "teaching them to do all things whatsoever I have commanded you," as the Great Omission from the Great Commission of Matthew 28:19-20.
Too harsh? Simple make an inquiry of your own. As your church, "What is our group's plan for teaching our people to do everything Christ commanded?"
Does your church have a plan? What is it?
